The Story of the 1945 Captain
Midnight Code-O-Graph

Stephen A. Kallis, Jr.

One of the most famous features of the
Captain Midnight radio shows was its
cryptological radio premiums, called Code-O-
Graphs. The Code-O-Graph concept came
from the sponsor, which issued equivalent
radio premiums on its previously sponsored
OTR serial, Little Orphan Annie. The Radio
Orphan Annie (ROA) cryptological premiums
were called Decoder Pins, and were used to
decipher messages, sent once a week at the
close of an episode. Such messages were
always clues to the upcoming episode, Jean
Shepherd monologue to the contrary.

Ovaltine took over the Captain Midnight
program on 30 September 1940. The program
started two years earlier as a syndicated radio
program sponsored by Skelly Oil. The hero
was portrayed as a highly skilled aviator who
was more or less an independent operator who
performed heroic deeds. Skelly Oil had
sponsored a previous aviation oriented show,
such as The Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen,
and one of the company's subsidiaries was the
Spartan School for Aeronautics. However, in
the last season of the Skelly programs, the
show dropped from five episodes a week to
three.

By 1940, World War II had started in
Europe, and the Japanese Empire had begun
military expansion in the Orient. The United
States was in those days officially neutral, but
even before entering the war, the country was
becoming aware of the deterioration of
conditions throughout the world. Many felt
that the United States would become involved
in the war one way or the other, and Ovaltine
decided to look for a more heroic figure than a

model had a secret compartment.

subteen girl like Little Orphan Annie.

With Ovaltine sponsorship came two
concepts from the Little Orphan Annie show:
one was an in-group. The group on the Annie
show was the Radio Orphan Annie's Secret
Society. For the Captain Midnight program,
this morphed into the Secret Squadron. The
Radio Orphan Annie Secret Society Decoder
Pins became Captain Midnight Secret
Squadron Code-O-Graphs.

Both additions to the Captain Midnight
program were winners. In the show, Captain
Midnight was recruited to head the newly
formed Secret Squadron, and listeners could
"join" the Secret Squadron by sending in a
proof of purchase from an Ovaltine tin (the
inner seal). By return mail, they would receive
a Code-O-Graph and the accompanying Secret
Squadron manual.

The first two Code-O-Graphs were
undated: neither showed its year. The 1942
units, though, were impacted by World War II,
as were many radio premiums.

The attack on Pearl Harbor propelled the

United States into the war, and this in turn shifted the
manufacturing priorities of the country. Effectively
manufacturing materials were prioritized, with some being
primarily dedicated to the war effort. Chief among these
was copper, and, consequently, the copper alloy, brass.
These were named as "critical war materials," and many
nonessential items, including novelties such as radio
premiums, were not authorized to use copper or brass in
their manufacture.

Fortunately for listeners of Captain Midnight, the 1942
Code-O-Graph had been manufactured in the summer of
1941, before the attack. This was not because of any
prescience of the impending attack (though, curiously, the
show in the Fall of 1941 was involved with a story
concerning some plans for Pearl Harbor being discovered
in Japanese occupied China), but because it took a
significant amount of time to make them all.

1941 Mystery Dial Code-O-Graph

At the beginning of World War II, the initial radio
premiums were, like the Code-O-Graphs, manufactured
before the war began. However, as the war ground on, the
materials remaining available for radio premiums were
paper, cardboard, cloth, and wood. Normally, the Captain
Midnight program would have issued a Code-O-Graph
annually, but Ovaltine decided not to issue paper Code-O-
Graphs, so the show continued to use the 1942 model.
(Little Orphan Annie was picked up by another sponsor,
Quaker Puffed Wheat [or Rice] Sparkies, and the program
issued two "decoders," both cardstock products. Neither
was at all rugged, and the show ended after a two year run
under Quaker sponsorship.) The 1942 Code-O-Graph was

the premium with the longest service life, running for
three years - 1942, 1943, and 1944.

1942 Photo-Matic Code-O-Graph. Pilot's photo was to
be replaced with the owner's

But tradition is hard to buck, and Ovaltine apparently
wanted to issue a new Code-O-Graph. However, copper
and brass were both critical materials, and many other
materials had at least some restrictions on them. What
follows is fact, followed by some speculation.

In late 1944, the Captain Midnight program announced
a new cryptological premium, the Magni-Magic Code-O-
Graph. It was a badge, but it had two significant
differences from its predecessors. One was that it had a
year date, prominently sweeping across the top of the
badge body. The second was that the central element,
referred to as the "dial," was made of molded plastic.

The badge was described as being made of "special
materials," with no details, something often done during
the war. Its body was actually made of stamped sheet steel
that was coated with "gold" paint to look brassy, like its
predecessors. The central "dial" (rotor) was made of
injection-molded clear plastic, with the ring that held the
mixed letter (cipher) alphabet painted red for easier
reading.

When the new Code-O-Graph was announced, it was
broadcast that the supply was limited. In time, the
sponsor's supply was exhausted. On the show, the
announcer finally pleaded with listeners to stop sending
for them. Those whose requests came in after they'd run
out of the supply of the Code-O-Graphs got substitutes of
older Captain Midnight premiums, along with a letter of
apology indicating that the substitution was the best the
company could do under the wartime conditions.

Now the speculation: where did Ovaltine get the sheet

The Old Radio Times * July 2007 * Number 20

2

steel for the 1945 badge bodies? The Wander Company,
Ovaltine's manufacturer, supplied Ovaltine in tins for
decades. But during the war, the company shifted to glass
jars. By doing so, much of the sheet steel ordinarily used
to make the tins would be saved: only the jar top would
need the steel; the rest could be conserved.

It's my suspicion that the sheet steel allocated to the
Wander Company was diverted to make the badge bodies
for the Code-O-Graph. Even so, only a limited number of
these badges could be squeezed out of the available sheet
metal, which may be why from the beginning, the
program indicated that the badges would be in short
supply.

It also explains a little-known fact about the 1945
Code-O-Graph. Each Code-O-Graph used an alphabet
scale with the letters in scrambled order, called the cipher
alphabet by cryptologists. The cipher alphabet on each
Code-O-Graph was unique to the model, meaning that in
order to decipher a message, the listener needed the
current model. However, and unlike any other Code-O-
Graph ever made, the ciphger alphabet on the 1945 model
was very close to that on the 1942 unit. They were
identical, save that the P on the earlier model was
exchanged for the B on the newer unit, and the E on the
older model was exchanged for the F on the newer, and
vice versa.

Also, the first two Code-O-Graphs used windows on
the back to align letter and number scales by a key setting.
For instance, if a message was sent in "Master Code 3,"
the listener would turn the rotor until the number 3

mistaken for a 9. Note eroded paint

appeared in the window labeled "Master Code" (both the
1941 and 1942 models had such a window). But for the
1945 model, the key setting was a letter-number pair: for
instance "Master Code C-3" would be set by turning the
rotor until the letter C was next to the number 3, which
would align the number scale and the cipher alphabet
scale.

With nearly identical cipher alphabets, those who didn't
have the 1945 model could use the 1942 unit if they
figured out the new key setting technique. A message with
the two letters interchanged could be understood. For
instance, the message, BAIL OUT ABOVE OCEAN,
using the other unit would come out as PAIL OUT
APOVF OCFAN. Particularly since the cpher alphabet
was all capital letters, a listener could get the gist of a
message without much of a strain.

I suspect that this was done deliberately so that those
without the newer unit could still be part of the Secret
Squadron.

The 1945 Code-O-Graph was called the Magni-
Magic model, since the rotor had a built-in magnifier. It
was the only badge made during World War II, and the
next-to-last badge.

Adventures by Morse Re-Certified

Adventures by Morse was one of the first series
certified by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group back
in June of 2004. The earlier series did not include many of
the additional features that later releases included, and so,
as time permits, these earlier series are being brought up
to the standard set by the group.

This series takes its place alongside / Love A Mystery,
One Man's Family and other works by prolific author
Carlton E. Morse. Produced after / Love A Mystery, this
transcribed and syndicated show continued the earlier
program's preoccupation with the eerie and the exotic.

Captain Bart Friday and his trusted companion Skip
Turner ranged throughout the world in their quest for
dangerous challenges to overcome. Undaunted by Nazis,
murderers, vampires, deadly serpents, zombies and
disciples of the dark arts they made their way through
story lines with such titles as "Land of the Living Dead"
and "Cobra King Strikes Back." John Dunning notes in On
the Air that "there was usually a near-rational explanation"
for the events that took place. Seldom did it come,
however, until the listener's imagination had been
enthralled by instances of the dreadful and even
unthinkable.

All told, there were eight serials comprised of a total of
fifty-two episodes, each thirty minutes in length. They
originally aired in syndication for a year beginning in
October, 1944. All have been preserved in high quality
sound for those enticed by the show's signature opening to
enter a world of "high adventure," "the stealth of intrigue"
and "blood and thunder."

certification of this archival series -

Dangerously Yours/Matinee Theater
Declared Archival Series

More old time radio series were declared 'certified' on
June 26, 2007. The latest sets are Dangerously Yours and
Matinee Theater. Although it appears that these might be
two separate series, they are actually only one.

The series began as Dangerously Yours, which was a
one-half hour show first broadcast on June 20, 1944, and
was sponsored by Vicks. Under this title the series ran for
16 weeks, ending on October 15, 1944. Eleven of the 16
episodes are in circulation. The sound on some of them is
not up to the OTRR's usual standard, but as of this date,
they are the only ones in existence. A text document is
included with the series denoting problems.

Each episode seemed to star Victor Jory as the leading
man, and concentrated heavily on romance, with much
airtime being devoted to lovers murmuring sweet nothings
at each other, and the action and adventure being relegated
to backdrop status !

On October 22, 1944, the show made a somewhat
dramatic change in direction and became known as
Matinee Theater. CBS made a serious attempt to provide
quality dramatic programming for its' Sunday afternoon
listeners. Now the view was toward presenting "a greater
range of stories."

That broader scope was able to accommodate such
episodes as "Beautiful Dreamer" (the Stephen Foster
story) and "The Love Story of Elizabeth Barrett and
Robert Browning." It did, however present a number of
stories taken from it's former existence as Dangerously
Yours.

Victor Jory and several different female stars paired to
bring classics like "Wuthering Heights," "Jane Eyre" and
"The Scarlet Pimpernel" to the audience, as well as a
number of more contemporary works. Twenty-five of
these thirty-minute broadcasts aired October 22, 1944 with
twenty-three of them being available and the final one on
April 8, 1945. The Vick Chemical Company sponsored
throughout.

The Old Time Radio Researchers would like to thank
the following people who worked to bring these series to a
'certified' status.

Frontier Fighters Achieves Archival

Status

The Old Time Radio Researchers announced that they
have officially certified Frontier Fighters.

Frontier Fighters was a syndicated series that ran
sometime during the 1930's. There were 39 episodes
broadcast. Each show dealt with some bit of history about
the early West and ran for approximately 15 minutes.
From Robert La Salle's navigation of the Mississippi
River, to Lewis and Clark's challenge of reaching the
West Coast of North America, Frontier Fighters will take
you on an exciting voyage of the taming of the wild west.
This is American history at it's best!

One of the exciting features of this certified series is
the addition of a picture that either is of the people the
episode is about or an illustration that describes the
episode. Additionally a historical text file is included for
each episode. These two features would make this series
an excellent reference tool for American history teachers.
Each episode would capture the attention of the most
disinterested student, and the text file would provide extra
information. We urge all parents to bring this to the
attention of teachers in your area. Teachers are always
looking for ways to make their lessons more attractive and
Frontier Fighters would certainly fill the bill!

The OTRR would like to thank these people who
helped make this series a certified one.

Daddy, Me & the Beatles

Debby Delmore

When I turned 8 years old my daddy bought me a
record player. He decided I was educated enough by then
to start listening to music I liked. He took me to a variety
store and gave me a dollar bill and told me to buy me all
the 45's I could with the money.

I protested, a bit slightly confused. I didn't know what
he would let me have. He was always very strict about
music; if it wasn't to his liking he wouldn't let me listen to
it. So, needless to say, I was a little bit scared to pick out
the music I really liked because I didn't want to displease
him. However, he convinced me he would not get mad at
me that he would only tell me if he didn't like it. He knew
I had been listening to the radio so he knew I probably had
some favorites, he was just curious what I would buy.

At that time you could get 20 - 45 rpm records - for
$1.00. Some of the records I picked out were: Fabian-
(Lend Me Your Comb), Beach Boys, Dion, Bobby
Vinton, Paul & Paula, Bobby Vee, Bobby Darin, Ray
Charles, Connie Francis, Temptations, Four Tops, Sam
Cooke, Chubby Checker, some of the songs were:
"Wolvertine Mountain," "Purple People Eater" and one
was a gospel song called "On the Wings of a Dove."

When we got home daddy stayed in the other room
while I played my new records. When I got through & he
came into the room. He was genuinely satisfied with all
my selections, boy was I proud!

The big trial came right before my daddy died in 1964,
the Beatles had appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and
everyone was a Beatles fan, including me and in a real
strong way. I had every Beatles picture, card, magazine
and record that I could get my hands on. Before daddy
knew it, I had a Beatles album. At first he got kinda upset
because he didn't really know if he wanted me to hear
their music or not! He informed me that he was gonna
listen to the album and if he didn't think I should listen to
it, he would throw it away.

I got so upset, I just knew he was gonna throw my
album away! Anyway, he assured me he would be real fair
about it and if he didn't think I should listen to it he would
explain to me why, that made me feel a little bit better but
I was still afraid he wouldn't like it. The next day I went to
my girlfriend's house and Daddy called over there and said
he was gonna pick us up to go shopping.

We got so excited, that was not something that
happened every day, little did I know what he was about
to do. He pulled up, we ran outside got into the car and
daddy hands me a $5 bill and says "Here, go buy you one
of those ol' Beatles records!" You cannot believe my joy.

ily2007 * Number 20 6

Come to find out, daddy had done his investgative
work on the group and found out they had been influenced
by the Everly Brothers which in turn had been influenced
by my daddy and uncle. He also had really listened to their
music and was very impressed! I was so proud because
they were my very favorite group.

When my daddy passed away, their music helped me
with my great loss. I never did get to see them perform
together, but I did get to see Ringo when he performed a
concert in Huntsville, AL. I was not disappointed. He
could still rock after all those years. He had an All-Star
band with him, Billy Preston and his son Zack on the
drums. I will never forget that wonderful concert! My
husband even caught me a towel from one of the band
members that was thrown in the crowd. I felt like I was 12
years old all over again!

New Country /Gospel Series Unearthed

One of the goals of the Old Time Radio Researchers is
to locate, preserve and make freely available old time
radio programs. Some of the ways we do this are to scour
the internet, receive donations of reel-to-reels and
cassettes and make purchases from dealers and individual
collectors.

In the fall of 2006, we purchased a collection of
country/western cassettes from a private collector in
Canada. Now not many people are interested today in this
type of programs, but in the early days of radio these were
highly popular, especially in the South and West. Not
many of the series in this collection were in general
circulation.

As I was encoding these cassettes, I began to run across
some that were entitled The Delmore Brothers. I am an
avid fan of country/gospel, but have to admit that I'd
never heard of this group. Neither Jay Hickerson's book
'The Ultimate Guide" nor Dunning' s "On The Air" had
any information about this series. Turning to the internet, I
discovered very little information, only one website
devoted to them and three or four others that mentioned
them, and none that mentioned a radio series.

I did discover the e-mail address of Debby Delmore,
who was the daughter of Alton Delmore, one half of the
team, the other being Rabon. I e-mailed Debby explaining
what I'd found and asked her if she had any information
on her daddy's radio series. Her reply was that she had no
idea that copies of this radio series even existed, and was
extremely excited when I shared the fact that the OTRR
group had 36 quarter hour episodes out of at least 63 that

The Old Radio Times *

were broadcast!

Debby stated that the group (which included Wayne
Raney on the series) had virtually stopped performing by
1950, due to the failing health of her uncle. We know
from research that they were performing by themselves in
1945, so the series is probably within the window of 1945-
50. It also appears to have been syndicated, as they
mention people writing in to the radio station to which
they were listening.

The program appears to have been broadcast on a daily
basis and consisted of Southern gospel songs by the trio
interspersed with offers of their 150 page song book
which sold for $1.00. Such songs as 'The Old Country
Church', 'Just Over in the Glory Land,' 'He Set Me Free,'
and 'Turn Your Radio On' filled the program

A 1946 issue of Billboard magazine had carried an ad
featuring their latest song 'Hillbilly Boogie,' which
according to Jim Henke, Chief Curator of the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, "directly anticipated the development
of rockabilly, and, later, rock and roll. With their close-
knit harmonies and their guitar playing, the Delmores
influenced the Everly Brothers and countless other
country, rockabilly and rock and roll artists."

Bob Dylan has this to say about them, "The Delmore
Brothers, God, I really loved them! I think they've
influenced every harmony I've ever tried to sing."

The sound quality on some of these cassettes is not the
best, and one of our sound technicians is currently
working to try to improve it. But for a fan of this type
music, close listening will pay off. As I was encoding this
series, I was transported back to my childhood when the
church that I grew up in sang this type of songs. It was a
joy to hear them again after 50 years.

OTRR will be releasing this short series as a special
archival set very shortly. Look for it in your groups'
distros. You can find more information on the Delmore
Brothers at

Scrounging for OTR Resources

Ryan Ellett

Like many of you, I am constantly on the lookout for
books and magazines that provide information about old
time radio. A search for an article by Marvin. R. Bensman
led me to the 12(2) Fall, 1979, issue of The Journal of
Popular Culture. Thanks to the stacks at the local
university library I found his article easily. I was
pleasantly surprised, however, to find that that entire issue
focused on radio's Golden Age. Because most of you
likely have not come across this particular publication, I
wanted to provide synopses of each article within it so
some of you could use them for future reference. I assume
most libraries could get copies of individual articles
through inter-library loan.

"Giving the Devil His Due" by Leslie Fiedler. Not sure
how this piece fit in with the issue's overall theme; Mr.
Fiedler waxes philosophical on what constitutes pop
culture, the focus of the journal itself.

"Leslie Fiedler" by Daniel Walden. A short review of
Mr. Fiedler's work. Neither of these first two articles
would be of interest to OTR fans.

"The Private Eye: From Print to Television" by
Maurice Charland. Explores the hard-boiled private eye in
media starting with the pulps. Little attention is paid to
radio, though Marlowe, Hammer, and Spade receive a
good bit of attention.

"Beyond Nostalgia: American Radio as a Field of
Study" by Alan Havig. Havig contemplates why a wide
field of serious scholarship never developed for radio
history, just as many OTR fans have wondered. He
comments that The Journal of Popular Culture is guilty of
ignoring radio, publishing fewer than a dozen articles on
the topic in its ten-year history.

"Radio's Debt to Vaudeville" by John E. DiMeglio.
The author reviews the many radio stars who transitioned
from vaudeville to radio.

"Black Pride and Protest: The Amos N' Andy
Crusade" by Arnold Shankman. Reviews the early and
significant black backlash to the radio serial, a topic
covered in a number of books on Amos 'n Andy.

"Radio's Home Folks, Vic and Sade: A Study in Aural
Artistry" by Fred E. H. Schroeder. An insightful look at
the popular Vic and Sade program. Schroeder explores
four themes:

1 . Its context against the Depression and World War II

2. Its genre, which was not typical non-serial dramatic
fare, yet was clearly not within the

The Old Radio Times *

daytime serial mold, many of which "operate in a
milieu of upwardly-mobile wish-fulfillment figures for
trapped and frustrated ordinary American listeners."
Schoeder compares Vic and Sade's unique qualities to
One Man 's Family, though the latter was not a
comedy.

3. Its technique is simple - all action is related through
dialog in the home setting. He argues the show should
be considered as falling in the folk-narrative tradition,
with its low-keyed atmosphere and repetitive qualities
of writing and dialog.

4. Its function is to entertain the average housewife. In
Schroeder' s opinion, Sade is clearly the main character
and heroine, albeit in a very different vein than other
serial soaps.

"The Home That Radio Built" by Jay K. Springman
and Carol Pratt. Reviews radio's role in funding the
construction and maintenance of the Motion Picture
Country House, a retirement home for ailing veterans of
the motion picture industry.

"Education Unit in World War II: An Interview with
Erik Barnow" by David Culbert. In a discussion with
Barnow, Culbert explores educational material produced
for distribution through the AFRS.

"Government Propaganda in Commercial Radio - The
Case of Treasury Star Parade, 1942 - 1943" by J. Fred
MacDonald. An in-depth review of this program,
indispensable for any Treasury Star Parade fan.

"Women Radio Pioneers" by Catharine Heinz.
Identifies several female broadcasters from the early
1920s to 1930s.

"Daytime Radio Programming for the Homemaker
1926 - 1956" by Marleen Getz Rouse. This interesting
piece reviews the many program types aimed at
homemakers. Rouse identifies many sub-categories:

1. Shows That Did Everything - Housekeeper's Chat
and The Heinz Magazine of the Air

2. Talk/Variety Shows - Don McNeill's Breakfast
Club and What's Doin' Ladies?

3. One-on-one Heart- to-Heart Shows - Mary

Thanks for checking out our July effort. It's a bit
smaller than you might be used to seeing, but there are
many things going on at my end that have limited the
time I could devote to this month's Times. Hopefully that
will change in the near future.

We're pleased to present another piece by OTR
premium guru Stephen Kallis. He is the go-to guy for
information on this offshoot of the OTR hobby.

Jim Beshires has been faithfully slaving away at some
obscure "hillbilly" series, a favorite niche of his. He
presents some of his findings on the Delmore Brothers
this month. Luckily he's taken a hankering to these old
country and western series because there are few, if any,
other OTR fans willing to spend much time with them.

Along that line, check out Debbie Delmore's
reminisces of her father, one half of the Delmore Brothers
team discussed by Jim.

I hope to bring you a closer look at the group's
scanning efforts in the next month or two, but, in brief,
we're putting together the most exhaustive collection of

The Old Radio Times *

OTR fanzines known to be available to the public. Our
most recent coup was obtaining permission from Bob
Burchett and Chuck Schaden to digitize and make public
the entire runs of their decades-old magazines, The Old
Time Radio Digest and Nostalgia News respectively.

As any of you who have attempted to track down these
old publications knows, there is a treasure trove of
valuable information contained in their yellowed pages
but very little opportunity to access it because the
remaining magazines are far and few between.

In addition to the 511 r2rs that Kevin Shields recently
donated to us, we have received a donation of several
more hundred r2rs and 500 cassettes from Robert W
Newman of the Radio Listeners Lyceum from Forest
Park, OH. Robert has several thousand cassettes that are
going to be donated to the club as well. Robert was
brought to Jim B's attention by Jim Widner at the Cincy
Con held in April. Many thanks to these great guys!

Stay cool during these summer months; get out to the
pool and enjoy kicking back with your favorite OTR and
drink of your choice.
